It remained flat at about 12-13 million to 1990 but increased remarkably after 1990, and the population as of 2008 increased to twice as much as that in 1990 or increased to about 27 million. Dollar-denominated per capita GDP1 increased up to 1990 and then downwarded in 1990s and rebounded in the 2000s. The decrease in per capita GDP in the 1990s is considered to result from a downturn in the economy as well as the rapid increase in population. ―: Population (10,000 persons) ―: Per-Capita GDP (US dollars) 3,000 500 人口(万人) 450 2,500 一人当たりGDP(米ドル) 400 350 2,000 300 1,500 250 200 1,000 150 100 500 50 ‐ ‐ http://unstats.un.org/unsd/snaama/dnlList.asp Figure 2.1 Population and Per-Capita GDP in Afghanistan (left axis: population, right axis: Per-Capita GDP) The population in Afghanistan is dispersed.

From 1994 when the Taliban emerged (it gained effective control of most of the land in 1996), the downward trend continued with some upturns from the level of anarchy immediately after retreat of the Soviet Union troops. Full-fledged economic upturn occurred after the simultaneous terrorist attacks in September 11, 2001. The economy rapidly expanded between 2002 and 2007, but stagnated in 2008. Agriculture occupies a large share in the economy of Afghanistan. Up to the beginning of 1990, the share of agriculture in all industries was 50% and increased due to collapse of the other industries in the period of confusion. In and after 2000, the share of agriculture dropped due to growth of other industries. Agriculture still holds a large share of 1/3 of all industries as of 2008. 2 Local currency denominated 1990 prices by National Accounts main Aggregates database 2 - 2 The Study for Broader Area Transport Infrastructure Development in Afghanistan and the Surrounding Countries The Study for Broader Area Transport Infrastructure Development in Afghanistan and the Surrounding Countries 500 450500 400450 350400 他 300350 交通・通信他 250300 商業交通・通信 250 200 建設業商業 150200 鉱工業建設業 100150 農林水産業鉱工業 10050 農林水産業 50- - 1970 1972 1974 1976 1978 1980 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 Legend: ■Other, 1970 1972 1974 1976 1978 1980 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 ■Other, http://unstats.un.org/unsd/snaama/dnlList.asp Legend:■Construction ■Commerce ■Transport & Communication http://unstats.un.org/unsd/snaama/dnlList.asp ■Construction ■Commerce ■Transport & Communication ■Agriculture, Forestry, Fishery ■Mining & Manufacturing ■Agriculture, Forestry, Fishery ■Mining & Manufacturing Figure 2.3 GDP of Afghanistan and its Breakdown (prices in 1990, unit: million Afghani) Figure 2.3 GDP of Afghanistan and its Breakdown (prices in 1990, unit: million Afghani) (2) Status of industries (2) Status of industries Figure 2.4 and 2.5 shows the outline of the industries in Afghanistan.

ALTITUDE – 5150M / 16,400FT Key Destinations:Islamabad-Skardu-Shigar-Braldu-Baltoro Glacier-Biafo Glacier-K2-Hispar Glacier- Hunza -Karakoram Highway TREK BACKGROUND The interconnected Biafo and Hispar glaciers, with a combined length of 120 kilometres, provide an unlikely natural highway that cuts through the heart of the Karakoram Range. Starting out from Askole on the approach to the Baltoro and K2, this long and relatively committing glacial traverse is undertaken annually by just a handful of expeditions. This trekking holiday does just that in a 3 week experience for budding explorers. Walking either on the glaciers themselves, or through flower-carpeted ablation valleys, we encounter challenging as well as more straightforward trekking conditions. A highlight of the trip is the camp on the Hispar La (5151m), where we can watch the afternoon shadow creeping across Snow Lake to the mighty Ogre (7285m) and turn to see the sun setting over the mountains of Hunza and the distant Hindu Kush to the west. Stunning scenery and a genuine sense of adventure in a high mountain wilderness are key attractions of this magnificent trekking holiday inh the karakoram.

  • From War Economy to Peace Economy? Reconstruction and State Building in Aeghanistan
    FROM WAR ECONOMY TO PEACE ECONOMY? RECONSTRUCTION AND STATE BUILDING IN AEGHANISTAN Jonathan Goodhand inning the peace in Afghanistan depends in no small part on intemational and Wdomestic efforts to transform the war economy into a peace economy. Based on international experience, this is unlikely to happen quickly. In other contexts, eco- nomic activity generated in conflict has persisted into "peacetime" conditions.' This article puts forward a tentative framework for understanding the war economy and explores some of the implications for current efforts to build peace.^ While it focuses on how the Afghan economy has been "adjusted" by war, this process can only be understood with reference to the politics of state formation and state crisis in Afghanistan and the wider region. Four interrelated themes are highlighted. First, the war economy has been both a cause and a consequence of state crisis. Second, the war economy has empowered borderlands, transfortiiing the politics of core-periphery relations in Afghanistan. Third, the war economy is part of a regional conflict system, with Afghanistan reverting to its pre-buffer state status of a territory with open bor- ders, crossed by trade routes. Fourth, international actors helped create the war econ- omy by supporting armed groups in the 1980s and adopting a policy of containment in the 1990s. These themes will be explored through ati analytical framework that subdivides the war economy into the combat, shadow and coping economies. Though they are interconnected, each involves different types of actors, incentives, commodities and relationships. It is argued that these economies are not only concerned with profit and predation but also with coping and survival.

    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY i CENTER ON INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION The New Silk Roads: China, the U.S., and the Future of Central Asia October 2015 Thomas Zimmerman NEW YORK UNIVERSITY CENTER ON INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION The world faces old and new security challenges that are more complex than our multilateral and national institutions are currently capable of managing. International cooperation is ever more necessary in meeting these challenges. The NYU Center on International Cooperation (CIC) works to enhance international responses to conflict, insecurity, and scarcity through applied research and direct engagement with multilateral institutions and the wider policy community. CIC’s programs and research activities span the spectrum of conflict, insecurity, and scarcity issues. This allows us to see critical inter-connections and highlight the coherence often necessary for effective response. We have a particular concentration on the UN and multilateral responses to conflict.

  • IOM in Herat, Western Afghanistan, Facts & Figures
    IOM in Herat, Western Afghanistan Facts & Figures 22 April 2002 Returns – The IOM office in Herat is helping internally displaced persons (IDPs) to return home from camps on a daily basis. At the same time IOM staff have been deployed to the border to assist Afghan refugees return- ing from Iran. Currently, the IOM Office in Herat is assisting between 4,000 and 5,000 IDPs and returnees per day to return home from camps and from the Islam Qala border cross- ing. IOM Herat is currently employing 285 local staff and using a fleet of some 700 hired vehicles. IOM Western Afghanistan Chief Rafael Robillard describes the complexities of the ongoing operation. “Managing these two large migration programmes simul- taneously remains a challenge. With the number of per- sons assisted on a daily basis, between four to five thou- sand, we’ve had to hire some 700 trucks to make sure people can return safely to their homes before the planting season ends.” The returnees are provided with overnight accommodation in transit centres. These centres provide shelter, security, water and food for the returnees. Travel to some of the most distant locations can take up to five days. Returns are currently taking place from Maslakh, Shaidayee and Rawzabagh IDP camps and from the former Central PolyClinic in the centre of Herat. As of 21 April, IOM Herat has assisted 29,655 persons (8,210 families) to return to their home districts of Ab Kamari, Moqor, Qadis, Qale Naw, Dara-e-Boom, Morghab, Ghormach, Jawand, Gulran, Kushk, Kusan, Karukh, Obe and Kabul.

Dutton Series Overview This China Maritime Report on Gwadar is the second in a series of case studies on China’s Indian Ocean “strategic strongpoints” (战略支点). People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility.
